Yeah, I gave up on Sewells long time ago because of the parking issue. Wish they would reopen Ambleside ramp.

I’ve been content to just pay the parking fine. Just hope they don’t start issuing ticket after ticket throughout the day!

Thanks for the update . I'll wait and see if it calms down, I'm a bit of a whimp when it comes to wind.

How much is the fine?

Going for it, great day to test the new extra long leg on the kicker.

Looks windy off the south arm. Any luck today. Hoping for the wind to switch and pop out later for the 1st time.
Cheers, Rob

Sandheads was nasty this morning, but fishing was hot.
Wind will lay down within the hour. So, get out there!

Boats clean, feet are up. Lol
Back out Sunday

$35 but that was for overnight in an area by Gleneagles where there are no specific parking signs. I’m going to check on wether they can issue multiple tickets down in the village area.

Been at Sandheads for a few hours. Got our Sockeye season started now. Two double headers and another. Have 4 Socks and a nice hatch Coho.

How is the North Arm compared to Sand Heads? Coming from West Vancouver, is it worth the extra distance usually?

Right now it’s really worth the distance. In another 10 days...probably not.

Does anyone have any advice on moorage for Fraser sockeye? I see there are several on the South and North arm, but don't know anything about any of them.

Well got out at 1:30pm today , one undersized Spring till 4:30 then all hell broke loose. Hooked 14 Sockeye , landed our 8 , done by 6pm . Non stop , 2 double headers . Great first day of my Sockeye season.
50 feet was the hot depth for us . Quite a few jumpers .

Google or call the Steveston Harbour Authority for info on mooring in the south arm
